You are affected, you just don't know it or understand global economics.

You apparently don't know what went on and don't know what your commenting on. Trump made trip arrangements and the press conference schedule before the discussion on the agreement and was making statements to corner Z and make it look like he already agreed to something that wasn't discussed yet so he would sign an open " agreement". Correcting a liar is appropriate so next time maybe trump and vance will know not to lie in front of the cameras to someone that will correct them like Marron has and also most every EU representing has stated. Do a little more research.

No deflection I am on topic. Maybe you cant read

I never said that so try again and post something worthwhile or don't reply

He didn't come to ask for money he was invited to discuss the "peace agreement" that wasnt. You obviously didn't watch the whole fiasco and have very little understand about negotiating on an international level or of what the 'supposed open ended agreement wasn't. Would you buy a house and sign a purchase agreement without knowing the price of the house, the interest rate, payment terms, length of loan or the address of the house in the documents?

I think you are close to correct on most of what you wrote except the last part about the meeting and meltdown that occurred. I believe Trump orchestrated the press interview early in the meeting before discussing and coming to agreement on a "peace agreement" and expected Zekensky to roll over to the pressure of the moment and just sign an open ended agreement. Z was on to their tactics and stood his cmground correctly. When Z corrected Trump and Vance about not agreeing to sign anything without details and presenting it to his govt for discussion and approval first that made Trump look like a fool and he had to lash out along with baby Vance to try to show force to control the situation. It shows their lack of experience in political situations and international diplomacy and they have no place on a global stage as a lead on negotiations. Shameful actions on their part.

Ukraine's problem affects everyone world wide. Not just from a stability issue due to the war but from an economic and agricultural perspective. Its in everyone ecmxceot Russia and China's best interest to end this conflict soon.

I would worry more about the antibiotics and growth chemicals on the chicken here.

You must not have actually watched the discussion as Vance started it with some ridiculously embarrassing statements calling on Zekensky to thank Trump, not sure for what as he hasn't done anything except act an a$$. Trump is just being the same as alway's, be a bully and aggressive to try to intimidate someone to get what he wants. In this case its access to the natural resources as a business deal. Zelensky acted appropriate during and in interviews afterward.

In what imaginary world do you live in that a 3rd party country not involved in a war gets to make the peace deal decision without involving the country that is actually being attacked ? As for paying the piper we only provided about 40% of the funding ( and not the amount trump claims) for equipment and armormemt and most all those dollars were paid to US arms suppliers. I think Zelensky showed he's not letting the USA take advantage today in the oval office. You must be very proud of the two a$$hats representing the USA in that discussion in front of the media in the oval office. They showed not only the lack of intellect but lack of political awareness and diplomatic understanding and experience

Since you used an agent they probably supplied the money and documents for the last renewal or extension. You have to still meet the requirement with money in the bank for the 2 months prior to renewal when you make your change over as far as I know so you may hit a snag at renewal

While I cant vouch for him, we ¹have a cafe and have had the same issues. They are used to just walking in and going to the beer fridge and taking whatever beer they plan to drink without asking or saying anything. While some are trying to pull a fast one, many are just doing what they do back home as thats what they are used to doing. After I talked to them it hasn't happened again but I've seen it at other resturaunts. They have zero cultural awareness and their demeanor comes off arrogantly probably as thats what life is like at home.

Whats that got to do with the fact they weren't there during the attack you linked? There were a lot more that originallybexited China and many were returned already and some went to turkey. Your implication is just like claiming all Muslims are terrorists! Is that what your claiming? So anyone that came thru that city and province were involved?

They have no shame and no one will hold them accountable. You just see some complaints and average somchai will be back at doing whatever they do cos it doesn't affect THEIR life in any mean full way. Its up the the younger generation to find ways around the dinosaur to bring change in politics.

Its good that Thailand is on the Human Rights Committee at the UN. Maybe someone on the committee can explain what human rights means at the next session.

I'm not part of the negotiations. Russia couldn't back down after they invaded and Ukraine keeps fighting with the support of other nations to help stop the unnecessary aggression of Russia. Russia has backed out several times, Ukraine has also due to unrealistic expectations. Ukraine and EU we blocked by Trump from at least 1 session. Trumps request for 50% of all of Ukraine natural resources was a none starter. What is you point or are you just posting to see your comments in print.

Its up to Ukraine and Russia to make the decisions. Yes other countries can facilitate (especially the EU) and assist but its not the place of Trump to think he controls whats best for Ukraine and make those decisions

Hahahaha stopping ww3. Its not his place to "stop the Ukraine war" thats between Russia and Ukraine to negotiate the end. He's such a peaceful man that he wants to take Greenland, the Panama Canal, the Gaza strip and part of Canada while he vendictively goes after anyone that stood up to him using the power of the office. He's a great role model for all you that have lost your moral compass.

You may want to be very careful with your approach and what you claim as you may find you create more problems for yourself by making claims that have no facts to back them up. Defamation issues in Thailand can take a strange twist from what you think

I absolutely paid attention. you as a new comer to the evisa system didn't. Most of the time 7 to 21 days is normal thru most countries embassies not 1, 2 or 3 days so you got incredible service the first time.

Most evisa applications are not approved in 1 day anywhere in the world as a routine anywhere in the world so your first experience is not normal to my knowledge

Im saying exactly what I wrote. Work on your comprehension skills. Both GOP and Dems created goals for this agency and voted on the budgets each renewal of funding session so your attempt to blame Dems for all the ills in this program is beyond stupid. Now you want to gas light the topic and throw out a different issue. You claim the dems only vote as a collective mind , what the hell do you think the GOP has been doing?

You do realize that the budget and goals for USAID are approved by congress each budget renewal session. Congress is made up of both parties and they both had input and were part of the budget approval process. That would be both GOP and Dems but you like to just blame the dems. Now that's what peculiar

But being dead is so if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes

No: true translation is your too lazy to look at the truth so you deflect because you have no facts to support yourself.
